Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve operability by performing the duplication of plural character strings at a designated position in one time of operation by storing plural discrete character strings as the character strings connected to a second storage means. CONSTITUTION:The title device is equipped with a text buffer 3 as a first storage means to store inputted character data, an initialization means 2 to initialize the storage content of a memory buffer 5 as the second storage means which stores an arbitrary character string to be duplicated from character data stored in the text buffer 3, and a designation means 2 to designate the arbitrary character string to be stored. And the plural character strings scattered in a document stored in the first storage means 3 are initialized, then, they are designated by the designation means, and the plural discrete character strings are stored as the character strings connected to the second storage means 5. In such a way, it is possible to duplicate the plural character strings scattered in a prepared document at the designated position as a series of character strings in one time and to improve the operability.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (a) Field of use in M industry The present invention relates to a document creation device such as a word processor.

(B) Conventional Technology When inputting sentences into a document creation device such as a word processor, the effort of re-entering the same sentence can be saved by copying the already inputted sentence. Conventionally, in this copying operation, as seen in Japanese Patent Publication No. 63-26909, the range of text to be copied is first specified using the cursor keys, and the character string within the specified range is stored in a memory buffer. Next, the cursor is moved to the copy start position using the cursor key, and the next character string is copied from this position. With this conventional method, if you want to copy another string immediately after the string you just copied, copy it again, move the cursor to the beginning of the sentence, specify the range you want to copy, and memorize it in the memo + 3 buffer. After that, you must move the cursor key back to position M and copy. When the copy source and copy destination are far apart, it takes time to move the cursor, resulting in poor operability. Also, some memory buffers are set up so that multiple strings can be stored, but even with this method, the copy destination must be specified each time, and since there are multiple memory locations, each memory The operator has to memorize the content of the character string stored in the location, resulting in poor operability. Problems to be Solved by the Invention As described above, the present invention solves the problem of string? A technical problem is to improve operability by making it possible to copy a series of character strings at a specified position at once.

B) Means for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a first storage means for storing the created sentence S, an arbitrary character string of the above document. A second storage means for storing, an initialization means for initializing the stored contents of the second storage means, a designation means for designating an arbitrary character string to be stored in the second storage means, all of the above. After initialization by the initialization means, a plurality of discrete character strings in a document stored in the first storage means are designated by the designation means, and the plurality of discrete character strings? It is characterized in that it is stored as a continuous character string in the second storage means.

(E) Operation As described above, by storing a plurality of discrete character strings as continuous character strings in the second storage means, the plurality of character strings can be copied to a designated position with a single operation. .

(f) Embodiment Is Fig. 1 an embodiment of the document creation device of the present invention? It is a block diagram showing (11) a control section 1a for controlling the entire device, 12H; (31 is a text buffer as a first storage means for storing character data input from the keyboard 121; (4+h! Text buffer (3) stores the character data stored in the keyboard 121. 151 is a second storage means for storing the character data stored in the text buffer (31), i.e., any character string to be copied from the existing text buffer. It is a memory buffer.

゛1OII/'i Memory buffer address register indicating the final address of the character string stored in the above memory buffer (5), (■) is a memory buffer read pointer register that indicates the read address of the above character string, tJlJ
is a second comparator that compares the read address of the memory buffer address point register fill with the final address of the memory buffer address register IQI, and if the comparison result is equal, outputs '1''; World Aba 10″
Output.

The specific operation will now be explained with reference to FIGS. 2 to 5. First, it is assumed that a document consisting of characters A to 2026 has already been created and stored in the text buffer (3) as shown in the display diagram of FIG. In this state, first of all, the memory initialization key on the keyboard 12)? push. From this nK, the contents of the memory buffer address register +101 are initialized with the start address of the memory buffer 151.

tJlJ The nine character string data stored in the memory buffer + ISI up to the previous time are cleared. Next, use the cursor move 1 key on the keyboard (21 to move the underlined cursor to 68", the beginning of the character string you want to copy, for example @ABCD'. Here, the memory on the keyboard) 21 The start address of the character string to be copied is set in the transfer read pointer register (61), and the copy end position holding register (8) is set to specify the range of the character string to be copied by pressing the key. The final address of the column is set.Next, the character string 'ABOD' on the text buffer in the currently specified range is set.
The data ``tf'' is loaded into the memory buffer (6).

This is while the first comparator +910 output is @0″r,
This is done by repeatedly extracting one character from the text buffer [3] and writing one character into the memory buffer i51.

When the string “ABOD” has been stored in this way, the string “op”, which is discrete but still wants to be copied.
Q'? The memory buffer 161 is filled with the same input f'F. However, this time, I did not press the memory initialization key, and the memory buffer at 1/s register IIG ij pointed to the final address of the character string read on the memory buffer + 151. The character string -opQ' is read immediately after the previously read character string "ABC!D". Therefore, the individual character strings "ABOD"-0PQ," are successively read into the memory buffer (5) at a rate of 1%.

Next, as shown in the fourth [F], the character string "ABODOPQ" is stored in the memory buffer 161 using the Cursor movement key.
,'H Move the cursor all the way to the desired position and press the memory call key on the keyboard (21).This operation writes the contents of the memory buffer 1510 into the text buffer (3). , 2 As long as the output of the comparator 1121 is @0'', the memory pan 7a pointed to by the memory buffer read pointer register fill (characters on 51? Read each character one by one and fill in the text buffer (31). Repeat. In this way, the contents of the memory buffer (51) are written into the text buffer (31) and displayed on the display (4) as shown in FIG.

(G) Effects of the Invention As is clear from the above description, the document annual income device of the present invention stores a plurality of discrete character strings as a continuous string in the second storage means, thereby specifying the plurality of character strings. Since the nine-digit head can be copied in one operation, operability can be improved.
